Hi guys, Same problem here. I’m trying to fetch the source of an external URL: > **[El nuevo Iron Man de Marvel será una mujer negra](https://hipertextual.com/2016/07/iron-man-mujer)** > > De quince años, científica, mujer y negra. Así es el nuevo Iron Man. I’m using $http.get(URL) and the console with: ionic emulare ios -lc give me this: 0 372693 error “Cannot GET /hipertextual.com/2016/07/iron-man-mujer?paras=2\n” in Android is working perfectly, this is my plugin list: com.napolitano.cordova.plugin.intent 0.1.3 "IntentPlugin" com.oauthio.plugins.oauthio 0.2.4 "[OAuth.io](http://OAuth.io)" cordova-plugin-compat 1.0.0 "Compat" cordova-plugin-customurlscheme 4.2.0 "Custom URL scheme" cordova-plugin-file 4.2.0 "File" cordova-plugin-file-transfer 1.5.1 "File Transfer" cordova-plugin-http 1.1.0 "SSL Pinning" cordova-plugin-inappbrowser 1.4.0 "InAppBrowser" cordova-plugin-splashscreen 3.2.2 "Splashscreen" cordova-plugin-whitelist 1.2.2 "Whitelist" sk.kcorp.cordova.ios-security 0.3.0 “IOS Security” ---

My issue ended up being that my SSL certificate on my API server was missing the intermediate certificate. Try using this: [SSL Checker](https://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-checker.html) Android seems to be much more strict in what it will accept from SSL configuration. In my case I just need to add the intermediate certificate. I downloaded it from the provider, included it with the certificate keys and was good to go. Hope that helps. ---

Hello there, I happen to have the same probelm. When I am testing my app with ionic serve or http-server on a browser on my pc or on my android or ipad device the data from the external api im getting via http request are show. But when i use ionic run android to run the app on my device, the data from the http request are nowhere to be seen. I have checked many forums about this problem, i tried adding code lines to my manifest file, to my config file, to my index file, i also removed and readded cordova whitleistplugin as recommended on many forums. But the issue still occurs. Could you please help me solve this issue? I can clone my project, just tell me what to do in order to get help . ---

Thanks cityzen! The SSL checker discovered the issue and adding the full chain was helpful. Adding in certs by Let’s Encrypt resolved the issue for me! ---

Thanks Tim! The following instruction were very helpful to make Http request work with external API: 1. Upload the application with the URL of the server again to IonicView App (Just in case); 2. Open the IonicView App and clean the app data; 3. Restart IonicView app (double tap on home button and closing process). ---

In my project im uploading image with contents of iFrame. Image is successfully uploading in some devices.(Moto e, samsung J5). But while testing in a REDMI phone, it gives the error “Failed to load resource: net::ERR\_ACCESS\_DENIED”. Image upload is failing. This looks very confusing. Also receiving this error in some other devices [Previous page](https://forum.ionicframework.com/t/solved-ionicview-app-http-request-to-external-api/18696.md?page=1)
